Abstract

In this paper, with the rapid development of Health Care a methodology based on Ergonomics for developing Medical Human-Computer Systems in Health Care (MHCS-HC) has been proposed. In order to verify it, a prototype system called Home Health Care Management Information System (HHC-MIS) has been developed. As a result, the methodology has been proven feasible and effective. The framework of methodology which resulted from the authors´ preliminary study is reported in this paper, including a basic method (Human-Computer Cooperation), a developing principle with four items based on “WHAT-IS-WHAT”, and some optimal solutions in the developing of HHC-MIS
